Description
Product Details of the IBM 03N4590
The 03N4590 IBM PCI-X 10GB SR Ethernet Adapter is a
high-performance network interface card designed to provide high-speed
connectivity to enterprise networks. This adapter supports the PCI-X interface
and can deliver data rates of up to 10 Gbps, making it suitable for demanding
applications that require high bandwidth and low latency.
High-Speed Connectivity
The 03N4590 IBM PCI-X 10GB SR Ethernet Adapter provides
high-speed connectivity to enterprise networks, offering data rates of up to 10
Gbps. This makes it ideal for applications that require high bandwidth and low
latency, such as data centers, high-performance computing, and large-scale
enterprise networks.
PCI-X Interface
The 03N4590 IBM PCI-X 10GB SR Ethernet Adapter supports the
PCI-X interface, which provides higher bandwidth and lower latency than the
traditional PCI interface. This interface also supports hot-swapping, which
allows the adapter to be replaced without shutting down the server.
SR Fiber Optic Connectivity
The 03N4590 IBM PCI-X 10GB SR Ethernet Adapter supports SR
fiber optic connectivity, which allows it to be connected to other devices
using fiber optic cables. This connectivity provides higher bandwidth, longer
distances, and better immunity to electromagnetic interference compared to
copper cables.
Low Power Consumption
The 03N4590 IBM PCI-X 10GB SR Ethernet Adapter has low power
consumption, which makes it energy-efficient and reduces operating costs. It
supports advanced power management features such as Energy Efficient Ethernet
(EEE), which reduces power consumption during periods of low network activity.
Advanced Network Features
The 03N4590 IBM PCI-X 10GB SR Ethernet Adapter supports
advanced network features that enhance the performance and security of
enterprise networks. Some of the key features include:
Jumbo Frames: This feature allows the adapter to process
larger packets of data, which reduces the number of packets needed to transmit
the same amount of data, leading to improved network efficiency and reduced CPU
usage.
VLANs: The adapter supports Virtual Local Area Networks
(VLANs), which allow network administrators to group devices together and
isolate them from other devices on the same network. This provides an
additional layer of security and allows for more efficient network management.
TCP Offloading: This feature allows the adapter to offload
some of the TCP/IP processing tasks from the server’s CPU to the adapter, which
improves network performance and reduces CPU usage.
IPv6: The adapter supports IPv6, which is the
next-generation Internet Protocol that provides a larger address space,
improved security, and better network efficiency.
Compatibility
The 03N4590 IBM PCI-X 10GB SR Ethernet Adapter is compatible
with a wide range of operating systems and server platforms, including IBM AIX,
Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and Microsoft Windows. This compatibility provides
greater flexibility and allows for easy integration with existing enterprise
networks.
